A conceptual masterpiece themed around witch hunts, mixing old-school death\/black metal, 80s traditional heavy metal, and horror movie soundtracks! Mystic Circle, one of the pioneers of German black metal, was formed in 1992. After releasing several demos, they made their album debut in 1996 with \"Morgenr?te - Der Schrei nach Finsternis.\" They gained immense popularity with their style, which followed the format of extreme metal + soprano vocals + symphonic arrangements established by Cradle of Filth. After that, they continued to release albums at a very rapid pace, including \"Drachenblut\" (1998), \"Infernal Satanic Verses\" (1999), \"The Great Beast\" (2001), \"Damien\" (2002), \"Open the Gates of Hell\" (2003), and \"The Bloody Path of God\" (2006), but suddenly disbanded in 2007. Their existence became legendary. In 2021, Mystic Circle suddenly reunited with original members A. Blackwar and Beelzebub. In 2022, they released \"Mystic Circle,\" achieving the remarkable feat of reaching number 78 on the German album charts. The following year, in 2023, they released \"Erzd?mon,\" which thrilled fans with a sound reminiscent of their 90s works. Now, their new album, \"Hexenbrand 1486,\" is being released. True to their words, \"more serious, more pious, more authentic,\" this album is a dense and comprehensive culmination of their career. The central theme of the album is the infamous witch-hunting book, *Malleus Maleficarum* (The Hammer of Witches), written in Speyer, Germany in 1486, and it also includes a song about the mad priest Heinrich Kramer. As frontman Beelzebub explains, this album contains a scathing critique of the church system and a requiem for persecuted women. Sonically, it organically fuses old-school death\/black metal, 80s traditional heavy metal, and synthwave reminiscent of horror movie soundtracks. Adding a dark horror flavor reminiscent of Dario Argento's films, they have completed their unique and unconventional black metal. Former Cradle of Filth member Sarah Jezebel Diva makes a guest appearance.
